US Army NGSW competition
The US Army have narrowed down the choice for their new small arms to 3 competitors.
"The NGSW prototyping effort consists of the Rifle (NGSW-R) and Automatic Rifle (NGSW-AR) with a common 6.8mm cartridge and Fire Control (NGSW-FC) between the two systems. The effort aims to field to the Close Combat Force (CCF) with the NGSW-R as the planned replacement for the M4A1 and the NGSW-AR as the planned replacement for the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon."
One competitor has also submitted a LWMMG in .338 NM as successor to the GPMG

Motivations for a change to 6.8mm https://www.militarytimes.com/news/y...-lot-deadlier/
( Although the oldie in me says why not just go back to 7.62mm in the assault rifle for that kind of stoppping power )"Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "
"No, they're trying to fly the tank"

MOD: 3x threads on the SAME subject merged. Graylion. PLEASE do not create any more threads on this subject. If you wish to post updates on this please post them in this thread. Cheers"Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.
